The mom was already dumb she already knew what was up before her child said anything and she lies about everything. This is very common in the black community moms are jealous of the daughters etc. and treat the sons like they they man or sumn. This is sad mom needs jail time
“Can I give my daughter a hug?” “She’s your daughter” Nobody asked if she wanted to be hugged. Poor thing looked so uncomfortable and hurt. She shut down while her mother was talking and just stood there while her mother hugged her. Trying to hold back tears. It breaks my heart.
Fuck I know coming from somone who feels that way often about my own mother I hate how she’s always intitled to give me a hug or Whatevr she wants to do
This girl is damaged... ... its awfull to feel like you have nowhere to turn to when you're a kid, you start believing you're Worth nothing... that turns you into a shell of a person when you grow up 😢😢😢
Asking a predator if they did it, is like expecting them to reach both arms out and say ,"Cuff me now". I could not image the fear of a little girl being brought directly to him and having them confronted together 🤦🏻♀️ That was an awful way to handle that...
As soon as your child says something like that you need to protect them at all cost, always take them away from the situation even if they say they were lying. Better safe than sorry.
Yup I agree that's why some parents have failed to protect their kids from sexual abuse or abusive from their father's or any family members. It's sad how the mother failed to protect her child and didn't do anything to prevent it from happening
@@buddhafortune6166 it's sad how a mother's love to her child that you say you love and wouldn't let any man touch her inappropriate way but yet she failed the lie detector test.
The whole time this woman spoke I could see the broken little girl in her. God, that must’ve been so hard for her to speak about. Steve treated her with the utmost respect and that compassion he has is what helps his guests so very much.
Victims and survivors have that child at the age it happened to them locked in them. I pray she gets all the help she can. I wish there had been a Steve back when I was young
This mother did that on purpose to keep the child quiet. She was protecting the predator over her own child. And all she cares about is projecting that she is a good mother. It was clear that she did not care about her daughter. Even now, blaming her for being scared and not talking at 8 years old. WTF!!! These parents who sell out their children like that should go to jail.
He probably was paying the mom as well you will never know her momma ain’t shit for this I cried all the way through no one especially a child should have to go through this
@raizinboyz your mother is a terrible person for not believing you mothers like this is just as guilty as the person that's doing the abuse I'm sorry you went through this I hope you have a lovely weekend from Mary from the far north of Scotland thurso caithness
I'm a Dad of 4 girls and this just broke me. When her mum came out its like she reverted back to being a child... I hope she got the help she needed and Steve's team helped her.🙏🏾😢
Yes. I cannot understand how anyone picks a man’s word over their child with something like this. This beautiful young lady is so hurt it’s really heartbreaking. I hope she can heal and be happy.
@@madjack8893 she didn’t pick the man’s word. She knew for a fact he was doing it and didn’t care. It’s not that she didn’t believe the child. She already knew and decided to do nothing. The girl said she was sent to her father’s house when she misbehaved at school. So the mommy was quite literally allowing the man to molest her daughter as a form of punishment It’s sick
I've done some independent research on this. And it turns out there's more to the story as to why her father did what he did to her. So, here's more context! Deonna's father(James Philips) apparently had been through the same Childhood SA abuse by his step father when he was a child growing up. He tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) about what's been happening to him for a while, but she never did anything to protect him. And basically sided with his step father over him growing up; thus allowing the abuse to continue well into his mid teenage years. His bitter resentment what he went through growing up would carry on well into his adulthood sadly. And when his daughter Deonna got older, that's when he began to commit the same actions on his her as a child; just like how his step father did to him when he was growing up. So it was more than just a "lost childhood", it was a 'Broken Childhood'! A childhood he never healed from either, just like his daughter. It's sad and terrible for both parties! :(
When Steve started reading the results I just wanted to hug her. She was so heartbroken and devastated, I felt horrible for her. I hope she gets help and can recover to some degree.
This story is so heartbreaking. I hope Deonna never brings her children around her mom. Her mom is sick and I am glad she got exposed for what she did.
Facts. She sold her daughter out to a pervert, her father no less. She is just as culpable as he. If deonna ever forgives her, she'll be extremely lucky. I agree, though she lost her granny right for this.
This is probably the saddest story Steve has covered I think. I never cry and even I shed a tear for this poor woman. You can tell she is hurt and completely devasted from what she went through. Her mother completely failed her, KNEW what was going on, did nothing and STILL made her go see her scummy father. Terrible... I truly pray for her, that she gets help and things get much better for her going forward.
I felt so, SO horrible for Deonna. Not only did she sound.......broken, when trying to really express herself as much as possible to Steve, it must've been very frightening and traumatizing to have to retell everything that happened to her growing up. Get better soon Deonna, get better soon. I know you will. I just wanted to give her a hug and assure her that everything will be okay.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Honestly, the saddest story i've come across on here! The poor woman can't even vocalise how she's feeling and It's almost as if she's still trapped in that 8 year old body and is not able to move on! I hope for the sake of her children and her sanity, she gets all the help she needs ! 🙏😩
This story is so heartbreaking. You can feel the pain she went through and is still going through just in the way she told Steve her story. Her flat affect spoke volumes. I hope that she will find peace one day. She truly deserves it. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t say it was total BS that her so called father only got 10 years for what he did to her!
If you're wondering what her father meant by 'lost childhood' @1:02, well, here's some backstory. As it turns out, Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also a victim of m0l3station and s** abuse when he was a child growing up; by his step-father! Everytime he tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) she never did anything to protect and always shrugged it off and kicked it under the rug. Her father even told his teacher as a child about what was happening to him at home; sadly though even that didn't help him much because once his mother and step-father found out about it and an investigation took place, he was placed in a State home, but eventually placed back into the care of his mother and step-father again due to a "lack of proof". After what had happened, step-father b**t him with his mother even joining in as punishment for nearly "getting them in trouble".And sadly, things only got worse for him from there. As a secondary punishment, his step father r**ed him, thus traumatizing him even more. And all that unhealed trauma her father accumilated as a child growing up would manifest itself into bitterness, anger, rage, resentment, and revenge. And when he became a father to Deonna, that's when he began to commit the same acts onto her; just like how his step-father did to him. It basically became one of those "If I couldn't have a normal and happy childhood, neither can you" kind of scenarios! So it was more than a 'lost childhood', it was a 'broken and damaged childhood' full of trauma and unhealed wounds in his life; just like the unforgivable acts he did onto his daughter! Deonna's father confessed his life story to her when she came to visit him in his incarceration cell almost 6 years before she came on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also told his daughter that he doesn't blame her if she doesn't forgive him for doing what he did to her as a child in the long run. As he never forgave step-father for violating him as a child as well as his mother for enabling it over the years growing up!
I just watched this my heart aches for the daughter 😭❤️ knowing the mother is not a good person the daughter needs help and needs to protect her kids 😔
The nerve of her “mother” (that’s not a mother.. no real, caring, loving mother fails their child the way she did) to act the way she did backstage. As if SHE was a victim. Smh
He showed it when he said he doesn't think she's even 5% she's not even really 1% in all honesty yes she's got a good life and stuff and has kids and I'm so glad she does but...she's not even 1% in this episode...
As soon as she said “ I had no idea what was going on between her and her father” as if it was a relationship I knew she was going to fail … I pray u find peace
Has to read your comment 3x to understand what you were talking about. That was a really good catch.. subtle. "her and her father" makes it a "that's them, I'm not part of it" implication.
I’ve never wanted to give someone a hug more in my entire life. This girl has been through more than one should in a whole life time. I truly feel for her and wish I could help her pain. Not a single soul deserved this 😭
"I was a single mother." "I had a suspicion." "I would never allow anyone to hurt her." She failed at all of these things. I feel so bad for people that go through these types of situations. If a child speaks up, anyone. You listen and remove them from that situation.
Her being a single mother has nothing to do with it. She was clearly taking the child to see her father or else he wouldn't of had the opportunity to sexually abuse her for years. Mom definitely failed at things but being a single mother wasnt one of them
What possesses people to consult the host of a television program to provide services that should be provided by professionals in areas of psychology and law enforcement?
@@SloppyxJoe I absolutely hate to hear that brother. I am so glad that you were able to overcome your own personal tragedy. I wish things like this didn't happen or at least that there were more severe consequences.
As a survivor of childhood trauma like this, (not from my dad though) My mother knew. She allowed it. She did nothing about it, but keep allowing it to happen. This shit runs deep in our souls man. It never goes away. It’s always a constant thought. It makes you feel dirty, and disgusting. Makes you feel unloved, unworthy and useless. I hope that she can get help. Even with help she was still psychologically be messed up. Sending lots of love to her and her kids
I told my mom that my dad was molesting me from the age of 7 to 14. She called me a liar and threw me out. I totally empathize with this poor woman. This kind of stuff causes so much trauma. I am still dealing with PTSD to this day. It destroys you
I am beyond sick 💔💔 her mother should be in jail with the father she knew the pain her daughter was going through. I could never do something like that to my child
@@BrownSugaBabe maybe not, but I am human and make mistakes as any other human. I begged my daughter for the truth and allowed her to know from the jump i believed her. The show casted me in such a bad light, they don't know how I went and beat him with a bat. They don't know how many days, months and years I begged her for the truth. They don't know I'm the reason he's in prison now and it hurts all the cruel things I've read about me. But me and God, we know. I called the show on hopes of helping my child heal and they said I lied about everything! That's not the truth at all, but if Steve says it, it must be true. Carry on. Fuck Steve and his fake ass show.
Рік тому+5
I pray she’s healing. Her body language alone is breaking my heart. She’s so cold and numb. Father God bless and heal her soul
I know this family and I never would’ve thought the mom was like that Deonna is the sweetest person her kids are angels I feel so bad for her I really hope she can get through this😢
Why not take her straight to the nearest hospital immediately on first announcement? WTH? What does she mean she did not know, her daughter told her, that is ridiculous and unacceptable - I had to edit this: I knew the mother was full of it, all that exaggerated hand-slapping is a tell-tale sign of lying, she is a total disgrace, prayers for the daughter and her children, she looks so lost and hurt, too bad her mother can't be locked up for being so unconcerned and putting her in harm's way, I'm furious 🤬
That poor woman....you can see the wounds just being ripped open and salt being put in My heart and soul is with her....I had my dad know I was molested and he never said anything to protect me cause the guy helped supply his alcohol
My dad, in the 90s found what would have been a terabyte (today) of kid corn (can't say it here) on a neighbors computer who was known for making little girls uncomfortable, and sent me off to be babysat by him. You can only guess what happened. When I told my parents, and I quote, "I dont wanna say anything because "I don't wanna be "that guy."" Those words are SEARED into my memory as the daughter of someone who refused to protect his own KID without sacrificing his image. That guy died peacefully in his sleep some years ago, but in my opinion he deserves much, much worse. I cant even brush my teeth without gagging, but that scumbag got a peaceful death, and my trauma never happened. Yeah, okay.
It breaks my heart to see how a neglectful parent not only failed to protect their child, but protected the ABUSER instead. my heart goes to this woman and I hope she finds peace in her life knowing the truth as it is.
Honestly this was the most triggering episode i have watched so far. At the same time my Mother instinct was just wanting to reach through the screen and wrap my arms around Deonna and just take her and her children in my family and give them all the love & protection and support that she so deserves/d and failed to get from birth. :( Not so unlike my own childhood....Something you wish on no child :(
I feel the same way, you suppose to love and nurture ur child, to protect ur child, from my own personal experience I just couldn't and to expose ur child to the abuser who she claims is touching her is just traumatic in itself. I pray that she heals and sending all my life, support, love and I pray God continues to protect her and her kids and you as ur family as well.
She SERIOUSLY questioned an 8 year old in front of her abuser 😢 My goodness she failed at protecting this baby girl. How brave that 8 year old girl was to tell her mom, her mom was a coward listening to a man over her child. I pray to God this young woman gets all the support and love she needs for her healing.
My heart breaks for Deonna! Even as she retells the story, you can see that she becomes child-like and I pray that she can have healing in her heart, soul, and life. I pray that she seeks therapy and continues to heal for herself and her children.
Victims/survivors have that child locked away inside of them from the age of when it happened. I'm praying with her speaking out and her dad in jail that it will help her. And now talking to Steve and getting it out I pray this sets her free. Wish I had a Steve when I was young
If you listened to the lie detector results the mother knew he was violating her before the daughter ever told her. She sent her knowing what he was doing, how disgusting is that. The daughter is 💯 really right her mother does hate her.
Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also m*l*sted and s**ually abused when he himself was a child growing up as it turns out; by his step-father. The trauma he accumulated growing up because of that was the main reason why he did what he did to Deonna when she herself was a child growing up. Thought I'd fill you in on some backstory to what he meant by "Lost Childhood" @1:02. He confessed his own backstory to Deonna when she came to visit him in his incarceration over 6 years before she went on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also urged her that if she herself were to become a mother in the future to not let her kids go through the same trauma they both went through. And that they deserve the happy normal lives they both should've had when they themselves were kids!
@@G.L.999 What you’re not gonna do is humanize that monster. He knew what he was doing to his daughter was wrong and he still ruined her life and used his own past as justification. He’s exactly where he needs to be. He’s a disgusting piece of shit.
This story really effed me up actually. When I was 12 I came to my mom right after an incident with a so called family member and she called her right away to confront her. But it didn’t matter, my mother let that person back into me and my sisters lives and continued to let it happen. Now I still deal with the trauma as an adult but I swear on this green earth I will never ever raise my kids the way my mother chose.
As soon as I told my mom I was SA’d by my neighbor, she immediately grounded me and told me I’d be grounded until I apologized to him because it was both of our faults. Even 2 years later, she still won’t admit that it wasn’t my fault that I got SA’d. I didn’t apologize and was eventually ungrounded but got all my socials taken from me, my support system, my friends, everything and everyone. No one believed me. Everyone turned against me and the girl who was there and saw everything said nothing in my defense and even dated the guy and came crying to me once she saw his true colors. I moved out of that neighborhood because of them. I was seriously considering offing myself because of that. Even if your kid says they’re lying, take them out of that situation, protect them. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Get them therapy if you can, be their support system, be there for them in general. I have PTSD from it as well as all of my other experiences with SA and can’t be touched from behind unless I absolutely trust the person touching me and they make themselves known that they’re there and even so, it still helps very little. If I even sense someone is behind me, I’ll scream and curl up into a ball (true story except I had that reaction because I felt a gust of wind from someone walking behind me and flipped out). Don’t let anyone hurt your children. They’re people too and need protection. If something traumatizes someone, especially as a child, they will carry that with them forever. Protect your children.
I know this is harsh, and I don’t mean it to be, but your mom is no mom. Not all mothers are moms. Instead of helping you, she shamed you after going through a traumatic experience, adding insult to injury. It would be best to separate from her until you can heal properly. If she’s worth being in your life, she’ll come begging for forgiveness after you separate. It’s a scar on your soul, and you must put yourself first to soften it, you deserve that. ❤️
I am SO sorry. I too was SA’d not only by my Uncle but also my babysitter too. So many time I tried to say something but would immediately change the subject when I saw how my parents were clearly going to react. It would’ve been the same thing. It started when I was 3 or 4 years old and went until I was about 10 or 11 when both of them realized I was getting too old and was probably gonna tell. even though I’ll be 30 this year, I remember all of it. I know I’m just some stranger on the internet but If no one has ever said it to you, I believe you. I 10000% believe you. I hope you’ve begun to heal and I hope your abuser gets what they clearly deserve. Your mother should’ve been your support system and I am so sorry she wasn’t the mother you needed. Sending you healing and peace love 💜
I really hope you recover from this. No human should ever have to go through that as a kid. Get the help you need, and hopefully you find a partner that'll forever protect you!
I'm so sorry you had to endure that, especially all by yourself. I don't know what the problem is with today's society, but more and more I hear that communities and parents utterly fail SA victims and it's tragic that you had to be one of them. I certainly hope things are better for you now and that you're surrounded by better people. Wishing you all the best moving forward ❤
@@Elliegirl616 I was abused by my babysitter too, idr if it was sexually, (due to all my wetting bed and doing things a 6-7 year old kid shouldn't know or do) but definitely physically my parents eventually fired her but they kept her in
This broke my heart . As a mother , and a woman , and a human being , I WOULD NEVER !!! And I thank god for the mother and father I was given .. this is just devastating! 😩
When the person being accused of not protecting the other person tries to shift sympathy onto them, that's your answer right there. This was heartbreaking knowing she reached out to her mother and she did nothing to protect her. Tbh it makes me tear up just writing this comment knowing exactly how this young lady feels. I hope she can heal one day
When she said “I may have had an idea but I did not know” that told me everything. Having an idea of something so horrid and not acting on it and continuing to send your daughter over there means you’re complicit.
This shattered my heart. This woman protected a predator and did not protect her babygirl. I have never watched an episode that has triggered me more than this one. I want to reach through the screen and hug this beautiful, brave and strong young woman. I pray for her peace and comfort.
3:40 this sweet woman, this strong amazing woman, moved away from Steve when she said he started molesting her. That was a visceral response. She glances away and made her self smaller. She is absolutely telling the truth. Her mom is mostly a victim from her own childhood, and continuing into being an adult. This whole family needs a huge hugs and loads of professional help. Momma handled it badly for sure.
It's been a tumultuous day. Unfortunately, the mother failed to protect and support her daughter. I hope that Deonna finds peace and makes progress towards healing.
As a woman who’s been abused myself, just hearing that her mother took her daughter over to her father’s house to confront him.. had to be the most horrific uncomfortable feeling ever for a ten yr old. To force her to look her father in his eyes and say “yes he molested me”, to be put on the spot like that… makes me so damn mad!!! That’s a victim’s worse nightmare!!! To have to see their abuser and to have to confront them, forcefully!!! And then on top of that, knowing that he daughter was being touched, she STILL took her over there. 😢 her mother is just as bad as her father. She needs to be punished too. I hope she gets the justice that she needs. This was extremely sad and a bit hard to watch.
Next level heartbreaking. As if she wasn't betrayed enough, her "mom" made her come here to hear this bullsh*t. This beautiful young woman has the saddest eyes I've ever seen. I just want to hug her. Proud that she has stopped the cycle in her family. Love you baby girl
her mom does not deserve to be a part of Deonna or her kids lives at ALL. & I think she knows it too that’s why she wanted that final hug before she was exposed smh this is so sick. seems like she was protecting the abuser instead of her daughter because it was convenient to send her daughter there when she acted out, what child wouldn’t act out when she’s being violated by her own father? she was failed by everyone around her and I hope she finds peace and heals and only ever experiences LOVE and comfort from this day forward. 😢❤️
A lot of times I think when children take back their accusations especially when they as young as eight will feel an immense amount of guilt based on how the adults around them react. Interrogating them, asking them the same questions, being visibly upset, probably scares them so much they just want everything to go back to the way it was, even if how it was was horrible for them because they don't know that it can get better for them. Children will put so much responsibility onto themselves over adult issues, it's a scary time for them and the least adults can do is make them feel safe and comfortable.
The Mom was a single Mom and didn't want to lose her babysitter, what a sick and selfish woman. I pray this young lady can piece her heart back together by being a Mom to her babies. Prayers and Love to her 🙏 ❤️
A prime example of a person who doesn't need to utter a word to reveal they are experiencing mental anguish by the hands of others. The term 'failed' is insufficient to describe what this mother did to her own child. This woman's entire soul has been shattered.
This story is gut-wrenching. My heart breaks for this young lady, you can tell she's in so much pain. I hope she has a good network of friends and family who can help her feel whole. I wish i could give her a big hug. 💛
8:35 Deonna's body language here is beyond heartbreaking... pulling her dress down and closing her jacket, she was trying to cover herself up. OMG 😢😭😭😭🫂💕 (edit for time stamp)
People are seriously so monstrous in this world. Being a mom to 3 boys I’m just as scared for them as I would be if I had a daughter 😢 That mother should be ashamed of herself and her “father” can rot..I hope she continues to be strong for her babies and protects them which I’m sure she will! No man is worth protecting when it comes to YOUR KIDS. he should’ve been locked up immediately once that little girl spoke. Smh.
I'm so sorry to this woman. Thank you, Steve for doing these shows. It gives me hope and strength in my life to see you give relief to people through the lie detector test. I wish and hope someday...
Her mother is my mother. Only my mom doesn't flat out lie about not knowing, she's got "amnesia". It's sickening. Exhausting. Etc. I'll never be able to wrap my head around someone harming a child - let alone THEIR OWN!
Same here she caught my brother on top of me put him out no shoes no clothes in the snow I was about 6 I remember everything and she doesn’t o please the mothers are pitiy
Whenever there's a serious topic and somebody spews little things thar are so insignificant to the main issue it means they are trying to skate around the questions. That mother knew..if that's what you want to call her...AND I KNEW RIGHT WHEN SHE FIRST SPOKE
This girl broke me - she is in such need of care - pls keep us informed on how she is doing - having had the same kind of experience and at 63 I still suffer - my heart aches for this young lady
Me 3 I got emotional when I heard the results that mother have the audacity to yell and scream knowing that she lied I pray for the young woman it truly is sad 😢
As a dad and now a granddad of girls I'm utterly disgusting by hearing that a father is that desperate and so hard up that he would touch and fondle his own daughter for his own self gratification. Hearing her story about what her dad was doing and trying to do to her just makes me sick to my stomach. My heart goes out to her for what she had to endure. 💔😢 After hearing the results of her mother I'm even more disappointed and disgusting!
I feel so sorry for that young lady who got taken advantage by her own father who is supposed to protect her , loving her as a father to his daughter and he did this to his own daughter . As for her mother she knew what tf happen and she allowed it to happen . But that young lady is a mother to her own child or children so i hope she learn from her trauma past that she will be a better mother to her children and their father won't take any advantage to their children like her father did to her when she was young . I hope she seek God & therapy .
Dude as a survivor of CSA hell not only that but as a human being my heart hurt for her so much what her mother did was absolutely disgusting sending her back to that predator over and over and over. and knowing what he was doing that’s despicable. I hope that she’s able to heal and live a peaceful and better life, although it really upsets me, knowing that her childhood was stolen from her because of that monster did.
my heart breaks for her cuz i do relate to her situation . family can be the reason of our sorrow and hurt i never cried in an episode this much in long time
Many hugs and prayers for this young lady. This made me so angry and to see her mother acting like she was a victim made it worse. That young lady has suffered a terrible life because you didn't do anything to protect her ... Your own flesh and blood! You don't deserve the title of mother! In my eyes you are just as guilty as the man who was supposed to be her father. Smh. Much love to you Deonna. I hope one day you fund peace.
This is super sad!!! I knew Natasha, the dad and I knew Deonna when she was a young child. This is so so so sad to me. I found out later about a lot of children in her age group who’s fathers were milestone them. A lot of the children in that area during that time were products of teenage pregnancy. It’s so sad.
Its a shame that the people who were supposed to be loving and protecting her were the ones causing her so much pain. I truly hope she able to speak with someone and find some sense of peace in life.
This is heartbreaking. Obviously if you ask a predator if they did it, they’re gonna say no. If she was actually protecting her daughter she would’ve put her daughter back in the car and never let him near her again. Regardless of what he said. This is so sick I can’t believe she did that as a mother and just casually let it go.
Never ask your child if they are being abused in front of their abuser. How dumb can these parents be?
It always makes me mad when people do that.. they literally scare the kid into taking it back
I was thinking the same thing. How horrible was that mom
The mom was already dumb she already knew what was up before her child said anything and she lies about everything. This is very common in the black community moms are jealous of the daughters etc. and treat the sons like they they man or sumn. This is sad mom needs jail time
Exactly she’s stupid 🤦♀️
Wasn't that the most stupid @ss thing?? I think the mom was alerting him moreso than seeking the truth as she, obviously, already knew it.
“Can I give my daughter a hug?”
“She’s your daughter”
Nobody asked if she wanted to be hugged. Poor thing looked so uncomfortable and hurt. She shut down while her mother was talking and just stood there while her mother hugged her. Trying to hold back tears. It breaks my heart.
Fr. It it was definitely a goodbye hug, she knew she was gonna fail and she knew the relationship was over.
@@bunni1722that’s exactly what I thought

This mother did that on purpose to keep the child quiet. She was protecting the predator over her own child. And all she cares about is projecting that she is a good mother. It was clear that she did not care about her daughter. Even now, blaming her for being scared and not talking at 8 years old. WTF!!! These parents who sell out their children like that should go to jail.
I tried telling my mom when I was 8 about the sexual abuse. She told me that I must have been dreaming.
@@raizinboyz Demonic "mother". Sorry you went thru that. 🫂💕
He probably was paying the mom as well you will never know her momma ain’t shit for this I cried all the way through no one especially a child should have to go through this
@raizinboyz your mother is a terrible person for not believing you mothers like this is just as guilty as the person that's doing the abuse I'm sorry you went through this I hope you have a lovely weekend from Mary from the far north of Scotland thurso caithness
@@raizinboyz 🤯😤
I'm a Dad of 4 girls and this just broke me.
When her mum came out its like she reverted back to being a child...
I hope she got the help she needed and Steve's team helped her.🙏🏾😢
It’s the fact she knew before her daughter told her that’s sick 😢praying for you babygirl
Yes. I cannot understand how anyone picks a man’s word over their child with something like this. This beautiful young lady is so hurt it’s really heartbreaking. I hope she can heal and be happy.
@@madjack8893 she didn’t pick the man’s word. She knew for a fact he was doing it and didn’t care. It’s not that she didn’t believe the child. She already knew and decided to do nothing.
The girl said she was sent to her father’s house when she misbehaved at school. So the mommy was quite literally allowing the man to molest her daughter as a form of punishment
It’s sick
I'm crying I haven't finished the video n reading this whaaaaaaat my heart
I've done some independent research on this. And it turns out there's more to the story as to why her father did what he did to her. So, here's more context!
Deonna's father(James Philips) apparently had been through the same Childhood SA abuse by his step father when he was a child growing up. He tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) about what's been happening to him for a while, but she never did anything to protect him. And basically sided with his step father over him growing up; thus allowing the abuse to continue well into his mid teenage years. His bitter resentment what he went through growing up would carry on well into his adulthood sadly. And when his daughter Deonna got older, that's when he began to commit the same actions on his her as a child; just like how his step father did to him when he was growing up.
So it was more than just a "lost childhood", it was a 'Broken Childhood'! A childhood he never healed from either, just like his daughter. It's sad and terrible for both parties! :(
@@G.L.999 you sick f he is an animal to put someone through what you went through makes you a monster
When Steve started reading the results I just wanted to hug her.
She was so heartbroken and devastated, I felt horrible for her.
I hope she gets help and can recover to some degree.
This story is so heartbreaking. I hope Deonna never brings her children around her mom. Her mom is sick and I am glad she got exposed for what she did.
Facts. She sold her daughter out to a pervert, her father no less. She is just as culpable as he. If deonna ever forgives her, she'll be extremely lucky. I agree, though she lost her granny right for this.
This is probably the saddest story Steve has covered I think. I never cry and even I shed a tear for this poor woman. You can tell she is hurt and completely devasted from what she went through. Her mother completely failed her, KNEW what was going on, did nothing and STILL made her go see her scummy father. Terrible... I truly pray for her, that she gets help and things get much better for her going forward.
I felt so, SO horrible for Deonna. Not only did she sound.......broken, when trying to really express herself as much as possible to Steve, it must've been very frightening and traumatizing to have to retell everything that happened to her growing up. Get better soon Deonna, get better soon. I know you will. I just wanted to give her a hug and assure her that everything will be okay.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amen I agree she is a beast from hell
Honestly, the saddest story i've come across on here! The poor woman can't even vocalise how she's feeling and It's almost as if she's still trapped in that 8 year old body and is not able to move on! I hope for the sake of her children and her sanity, she gets all the help she needs ! 🙏😩
This story is so heartbreaking. You can feel the pain she went through and is still going through just in the way she told Steve her story. Her flat affect spoke volumes. I hope that she will find peace one day. She truly deserves it. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t say it was total BS that her so called father only got 10 years for what he did to her!
If you're wondering what her father meant by 'lost childhood' @1:02, well, here's some backstory.
As it turns out, Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also a victim of m0l3station and s** abuse when he was a child growing up; by his step-father! Everytime he tried telling his mother(Deonna's paternal grandmother) she never did anything to protect and always shrugged it off and kicked it under the rug. Her father even told his teacher as a child about what was happening to him at home; sadly though even that didn't help him much because once his mother and step-father found out about it and an investigation took place, he was placed in a State home, but eventually placed back into the care of his mother and step-father again due to a "lack of proof". After what had happened, step-father b**t him with his mother even joining in as punishment for nearly "getting them in trouble".And sadly, things only got worse for him from there. As a secondary punishment, his step father r**ed him, thus traumatizing him even more.
And all that unhealed trauma her father accumilated as a child growing up would manifest itself into bitterness, anger, rage, resentment, and revenge. And when he became a father to Deonna, that's when he began to commit the same acts onto her; just like how his step-father did to him. It basically became one of those "If I couldn't have a normal and happy childhood, neither can you" kind of scenarios!
So it was more than a 'lost childhood', it was a 'broken and damaged childhood' full of trauma and unhealed wounds in his life; just like the unforgivable acts he did onto his daughter!
Deonna's father confessed his life story to her when she came to visit him in his incarceration cell almost 6 years before she came on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also told his daughter that he doesn't blame her if she doesn't forgive him for doing what he did to her as a child in the long run. As he never forgave step-father for violating him as a child as well as his mother for enabling it over the years growing up!
That mother infuriates me. Horrible.
Me too this is crazy
I just watched this my heart aches for the daughter 😭❤️ knowing the mother is not a good person the daughter needs help and needs to protect her kids 😔
Me too!
she reminds me of my mother; this isn't a compliment.
"I almost died inside." Yeah, almost don't count. Try harder.
She's literally dissociating on that while her mother's talking. I'm so glad Steve was able to see it, at least. She desperately needs long term help.
The nerve of her “mother” (that’s not a mother.. no real, caring, loving mother fails their child the way she did) to act the way she did backstage. As if SHE was a victim. Smh
The mother can go face disgrace.
I’m saying
She IS a mother but I don't mean that as her being a parent.
She started the victim stuff on stage talking about being a single mom…
True. It only got worse backstage.
She already knew it was happening before her daughter even told her about it ?! What a sick excuse for a mother
I love the empathy that Steve showed to this woman. He seen she was broken 😢 I pray this woman gets healing.
He showed it when he said he doesn't think she's even 5% she's not even really 1% in all honesty yes she's got a good life and stuff and has kids and I'm so glad she does but...she's not even 1% in this episode...
Of all the molestation stories I’ve ever heard on this show this is about the saddest one I’ve ever heard
As soon as she said “ I had no idea what was going on between her and her father” as if it was a relationship I knew she was going to fail … I pray u find peace
I thought that wording was strange too. Wasn't sure if it was just me
i caught that too
Me too!
Has to read your comment 3x to understand what you were talking about. That was a really good catch.. subtle. "her and her father" makes it a "that's them, I'm not part of it" implication.
Yes! Five seconds into the video I knew the mom was lying because of that one statement.
I’ve never wanted to give someone a hug more in my entire life. This girl has been through more than one should in a whole life time. I truly feel for her and wish I could help her pain. Not a single soul deserved this 😭
"I was a single mother." "I had a suspicion." "I would never allow anyone to hurt her." She failed at all of these things. I feel so bad for people that go through these types of situations. If a child speaks up, anyone. You listen and remove them from that situation.
it's sadly an all too common scenario, speaking from experience.
@@SloppyxJoe God bless you. Be at peace
Her being a single mother has nothing to do with it. She was clearly taking the child to see her father or else he wouldn't of had the opportunity to sexually abuse her for years. Mom definitely failed at things but being a single mother wasnt one of them
What possesses people to consult the host of a television program to provide services that should be provided by professionals in areas of psychology and law enforcement?
@@SloppyxJoe I absolutely hate to hear that brother. I am so glad that you were able to overcome your own personal tragedy. I wish things like this didn't happen or at least that there were more severe consequences.
She wanted a “break” from her child so she couldn’t lose that babysitter “predator “ of a father. Bless this woman Lord!!
As a survivor of childhood trauma like this, (not from my dad though)
My mother knew. She allowed it. She did nothing about it, but keep allowing it to happen. This shit runs deep in our souls man. It never goes away. It’s always a constant thought. It makes you feel dirty, and disgusting. Makes you feel unloved, unworthy and useless. I hope that she can get help. Even with help she was still psychologically be messed up.
Sending lots of love to her and her kids

You are Absolutely right
I’m a father of 2 girls and I cherish the ground they walk on! That father is SICK and I hope he is in jail especially for life
I am beyond sick 💔💔 her mother should be in jail with the father she knew the pain her daughter was going through. I could never do something like that to my child
She definitely should!
just sickening!!
How could a dad do that to his own daughter or anyone else… shame on him🤦🏾♀️💔
her sitting there.. face to face with Steve... detailing a horrific story was shocking.. I believed her story right from the get go..
I did too. The fact that the mom asked her in front of him just blows my mind. She didn’t handle it correctly at all.
@@BrownSugaBabe maybe not, but I am human and make mistakes as any other human. I begged my daughter for the truth and allowed her to know from the jump i believed her. The show casted me in such a bad light, they don't know how I went and beat him with a bat. They don't know how many days, months and years I begged her for the truth. They don't know I'm the reason he's in prison now and it hurts all the cruel things I've read about me. But me and God, we know. I called the show on hopes of helping my child heal and they said I lied about everything! That's not the truth at all, but if Steve says it, it must be true. Carry on. Fuck Steve and his fake ass show.
I pray she’s healing. Her body language alone is breaking my heart. She’s so cold and numb. Father God bless and heal her soul
Some people do not deserve to have kids…
So True about that
Spot on
Agree
Life is so backwards we have half bad parents with kids and the rest left possibly childless or unable to have kids.
Yep, you need a license to catch a fish but anyone can have a child!
I know this family and I never would’ve thought the mom was like that Deonna is the sweetest person her kids are angels I feel so bad for her I really hope she can get through this😢
Give that mother hell for Deonna. And for all of us.
Why not take her straight to the nearest hospital immediately on first announcement? WTH? What does she mean she did not know, her daughter told her, that is ridiculous and unacceptable - I had to edit this: I knew the mother was full of it, all that exaggerated hand-slapping is a tell-tale sign of lying, she is a total disgrace, prayers for the daughter and her children, she looks so lost and hurt, too bad her mother can't be locked up for being so unconcerned and putting her in harm's way, I'm furious 🤬
My mum and I watched this clip and she is in tears....how could a mother be so negligent and cruel...just wanna hug the young lady
That poor woman....you can see the wounds just being ripped open and salt being put in
My heart and soul is with her....I had my dad know I was molested and he never said anything to protect me cause the guy helped supply his alcohol
My dad, in the 90s found what would have been a terabyte (today) of kid corn (can't say it here) on a neighbors computer who was known for making little girls uncomfortable, and sent me off to be babysat by him. You can only guess what happened. When I told my parents, and I quote, "I dont wanna say anything because "I don't wanna be "that guy."" Those words are SEARED into my memory as the daughter of someone who refused to protect his own KID without sacrificing his image. That guy died peacefully in his sleep some years ago, but in my opinion he deserves much, much worse. I cant even brush my teeth without gagging, but that scumbag got a peaceful death, and my trauma never happened. Yeah, okay.

That's exactly how it feels.. Like an opened wound I'm in my 30s and still can't get passed it
@@novakayne6600 I guess it's not always what a father does but what one dosent do. You touch mine you die

" she tried to tell me , she said he was molesting her "
is this fucking real life
It breaks my heart to see how a neglectful parent not only failed to protect their child, but protected the ABUSER instead. my heart goes to this woman and I hope she finds peace in her life knowing the truth as it is.
Honestly this was the most triggering episode i have watched so far. At the same time my Mother instinct was just wanting to reach through the screen and wrap my arms around Deonna and just take her and her children in my family and give them all the love & protection and support that she so deserves/d and failed to get from birth. :( Not so unlike my own childhood....Something you wish on no child :(
❤️
Not even mother instincts. It's human instincts .
I feel the same way, you suppose to love and nurture ur child, to protect ur child, from my own personal experience I just couldn't and to expose ur child to the abuser who she claims is touching her is just traumatic in itself. I pray that she heals and sending all my life, support, love and I pray God continues to protect her and her kids and you as ur family as well.
@@ciaramist9435 Thank you hun for your well wishes
@@tamaddo-carr5911 Agree... n Yet her own Mother made her face her abuser... Bloody sad isn't it :(
She SERIOUSLY questioned an 8 year old in front of her abuser 😢 My goodness she failed at protecting this baby girl. How brave that 8 year old girl was to tell her mom, her mom was a coward listening to a man over her child. I pray to God this young woman gets all the support and love she needs for her healing.
She even knew what he did before this moment.
That's what the detector results saying.
My heart breaks for Deonna! Even as she retells the story, you can see that she becomes child-like and I pray that she can have healing in her heart, soul, and life. I pray that she seeks therapy and continues to heal for herself and her children.
Broke my Heart! It really sucks when neither one of your parents are capable of giving a crap about anyone.
i dont even see an adult, i see a broken child...i hope Deonna can heal..its not going to be easy, but i pray that she heals the way she needs to.
So True I totally agree with you prayers for that young woman 🙏
Victims/survivors have that child locked away inside of them from the age of when it happened. I'm praying with her speaking out and her dad in jail that it will help her. And now talking to Steve and getting it out I pray this sets her free. Wish I had a Steve when I was young
If you listened to the lie detector results the mother knew he was violating her before the daughter ever told her. She sent her knowing what he was doing, how disgusting is that. The daughter is 💯 really right her mother does hate her.
Deonna's father(James Phillips) was also m*l*sted and s**ually abused when he himself was a child growing up as it turns out; by his step-father. The trauma he accumulated growing up because of that was the main reason why he did what he did to Deonna when she herself was a child growing up. Thought I'd fill you in on some backstory to what he meant by "Lost Childhood" @1:02.
He confessed his own backstory to Deonna when she came to visit him in his incarceration over 6 years before she went on the Steve Wilkos Show! And he also urged her that if she herself were to become a mother in the future to not let her kids go through the same trauma they both went through. And that they deserve the happy normal lives they both should've had when they themselves were kids!
@@G.L.999 What you’re not gonna do is humanize that monster. He knew what he was doing to his daughter was wrong and he still ruined her life and used his own past as justification. He’s exactly where he needs to be. He’s a disgusting piece of shit.
@@G.L.999it’s crazy that he didn’t think twice about inflicting the same trauma he experienced on his own child. May he rot below.
I'm not a mother but if a child came to me and said 'so and so is touching me' then there's no way in hell I'm letting them anywhere near that person!
Right! Ever Again!
Exactly!! I feel sick, that poor child was let down by her momma
Amen
Exactly!!! No reason for a child to make a lie like that . They don't even know what's happening!!!! My heart goes out !
You NEVER make your child confront the abuser like that!
I just want to hug Deonna. My heart hurts so much for her. Your mother is supposed to protect you! Shame on her mother!
As soon as she ran off my heart broke. That sorry excuse for a mother is disgusting. How could u force ur baby to go through that and say u love them
I would never make my child face their abuser and get them to say that in front of them. That’s just cruel, no wonder why she retracted it.
This story really effed me up actually. When I was 12 I came to my mom right after an incident with a so called family member and she called her right away to confront her. But it didn’t matter, my mother let that person back into me and my sisters lives and continued to let it happen. Now I still deal with the trauma as an adult but I swear on this green earth I will never ever raise my kids the way my mother chose.
I'm sorry.
This is the most emotional I've ever seen Steve and the audience. I don't think I've ever felt so much for a person on the show.
I Can still see the Scared, scarred 8 year old as I watch this 💔😢
As soon as I told my mom I was SA’d by my neighbor, she immediately grounded me and told me I’d be grounded until I apologized to him because it was both of our faults. Even 2 years later, she still won’t admit that it wasn’t my fault that I got SA’d. I didn’t apologize and was eventually ungrounded but got all my socials taken from me, my support system, my friends, everything and everyone. No one believed me. Everyone turned against me and the girl who was there and saw everything said nothing in my defense and even dated the guy and came crying to me once she saw his true colors. I moved out of that neighborhood because of them. I was seriously considering offing myself because of that. Even if your kid says they’re lying, take them out of that situation, protect them. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Get them therapy if you can, be their support system, be there for them in general. I have PTSD from it as well as all of my other experiences with SA and can’t be touched from behind unless I absolutely trust the person touching me and they make themselves known that they’re there and even so, it still helps very little. If I even sense someone is behind me, I’ll scream and curl up into a ball (true story except I had that reaction because I felt a gust of wind from someone walking behind me and flipped out). Don’t let anyone hurt your children. They’re people too and need protection. If something traumatizes someone, especially as a child, they will carry that with them forever. Protect your children.
I know this is harsh, and I don’t mean it to be, but your mom is no mom.
Not all mothers are moms. Instead of helping you, she shamed you after going through a traumatic experience, adding insult to injury.
It would be best to separate from her until you can heal properly. If she’s worth being in your life, she’ll come begging for forgiveness after you separate.
It’s a scar on your soul, and you must put yourself first to
soften it, you deserve that. ❤️
I am SO sorry. I too was SA’d not only by my Uncle but also my babysitter too. So many time I tried to say something but would immediately change the subject when I saw how my parents were clearly going to react. It would’ve been the same thing. It started when I was 3 or 4 years old and went until I was about 10 or 11 when both of them realized I was getting too old and was probably gonna tell. even though I’ll be 30 this year, I remember all of it. I know I’m just some stranger on the internet but If no one has ever said it to you, I believe you. I 10000% believe you. I hope you’ve begun to heal and I hope your abuser gets what they clearly deserve. Your mother should’ve been your support system and I am so sorry she wasn’t the mother you needed. Sending you healing and peace love 💜
I really hope you recover from this. No human should ever have to go through that as a kid. Get the help you need, and hopefully you find a partner that'll forever protect you!
I'm so sorry you had to endure that, especially all by yourself. I don't know what the problem is with today's society, but more and more I hear that communities and parents utterly fail SA victims and it's tragic that you had to be one of them. I certainly hope things are better for you now and that you're surrounded by better people.
Wishing you all the best moving forward ❤
@@Elliegirl616 I was abused by my babysitter too, idr if it was sexually, (due to all my wetting bed and doing things a 6-7 year old kid shouldn't know or do) but definitely physically my parents eventually fired her but they kept her in
This broke my heart . As a mother , and a woman , and a human being , I WOULD NEVER !!! And I thank god for the mother and father I was given .. this is just devastating! 😩
This broke my heart seeing Steve almost cry for this victim unless it’s happened to ya can’t imagine what they go through
I know it truly is sad I got emotional as well 😢
When Did He Almost Cry
When the person being accused of not protecting the other person tries to shift sympathy onto them, that's your answer right there. This was heartbreaking knowing she reached out to her mother and she did nothing to protect her. Tbh it makes me tear up just writing this comment knowing exactly how this young lady feels. I hope she can heal one day
every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserve a child. 😪
^
When she said “I may have had an idea but I did not know” that told me everything. Having an idea of something so horrid and not acting on it and continuing to send your daughter over there means you’re complicit.
This shattered my heart. This woman protected a predator and did not protect her babygirl. I have never watched an episode that has triggered me more than this one. I want to reach through the screen and hug this beautiful, brave and strong young woman. I pray for her peace and comfort.
I totally agree with you on that I couldn’t believe what I’ve heard the mother have the audacity to yell and scream knowing that she lied
3:40 this sweet woman, this strong amazing woman, moved away from Steve when she said he started molesting her. That was a visceral response. She glances away and made her self smaller. She is absolutely telling the truth.
Her mom is mostly a victim from her own childhood, and continuing into being an adult. This whole family needs a huge hugs and loads of professional help.
Momma handled it badly for sure.
I sincerely hope she will recover from all of her past trauma and live a happy and peaceful life. This really broke my heart.
I just want to hug her. She reverted back to that innocent child when Steve read those results. My God-please heal her
It's been a tumultuous day. Unfortunately, the mother failed to protect and support her daughter. I hope that Deonna finds peace and makes progress towards healing.
Yeah I saw it today it was truly sad I totally agree with what you’re saying
As a woman who’s been abused myself, just hearing that her mother took her daughter over to her father’s house to confront him.. had to be the most horrific uncomfortable feeling ever for a ten yr old. To force her to look her father in his eyes and say “yes he molested me”, to be put on the spot like that… makes me so damn mad!!! That’s a victim’s worse nightmare!!! To have to see their abuser and to have to confront them, forcefully!!! And then on top of that, knowing that he daughter was being touched, she STILL took her over there. 😢 her mother is just as bad as her father. She needs to be punished too. I hope she gets the justice that she needs. This was extremely sad and a bit hard to watch.
This breaks my heart hearing this 😢 How can a mother who brought a child in the world let that happen to her daughter.
I know it truly is sad that got me emotional 😢
Next level heartbreaking. As if she wasn't betrayed enough, her "mom" made her come here to hear this bullsh*t. This beautiful young woman has the saddest eyes I've ever seen. I just want to hug her. Proud that she has stopped the cycle in her family. Love you baby girl
her mom does not deserve to be a part of Deonna or her kids lives at ALL. & I think she knows it too that’s why she wanted that final hug before she was exposed smh this is so sick. seems like she was protecting the abuser instead of her daughter because it was convenient to send her daughter there when she acted out, what child wouldn’t act out when she’s being violated by her own father? she was failed by everyone around her and I hope she finds peace and heals and only ever experiences LOVE and comfort from this day forward. 😢❤️
2:25 omggg I LOVE her hair😍😍😍😍😍😵
Anything natural in today’s time is nice to see!
A lot of times I think when children take back their accusations especially when they as young as eight will feel an immense amount of guilt based on how the adults around them react. Interrogating them, asking them the same questions, being visibly upset, probably scares them so much they just want everything to go back to the way it was, even if how it was was horrible for them because they don't know that it can get better for them. Children will put so much responsibility onto themselves over adult issues, it's a scary time for them and the least adults can do is make them feel safe and comfortable.
100 percent spot on
How disgusting of this mother. Absolutely EVIL!!
The Mom was a single Mom and didn't want to lose her babysitter, what a sick and selfish woman. I pray this young lady can piece her heart back together by being a Mom to her babies. Prayers and Love to her 🙏 ❤️
A prime example of a person who doesn't need to utter a word to reveal they are experiencing mental anguish by the hands of others.
The term 'failed' is insufficient to describe what this mother did to her own child. This woman's entire soul has been shattered.
This story is gut-wrenching. My heart breaks for this young lady, you can tell she's in so much pain. I hope she has a good network of friends and family who can help her feel whole. I wish i could give her a big hug. 💛
This poor girl, she's so beautiful and it's unfortunate that she had to deal with this the rest of her life. She seems like such a beautiful soul.
8:35 Deonna's body language here is beyond heartbreaking... pulling her dress down and closing her jacket, she was trying to cover herself up. OMG 😢😭😭😭🫂💕
(edit for time stamp)
This is the most heartbreaking I have seen. To be abused by your father and totally BETRAYED by your mother.
Unforgivable
People are seriously so monstrous in this world. Being a mom to 3 boys I’m just as scared for them as I would be if I had a daughter 😢 That mother should be ashamed of herself and her “father” can rot..I hope she continues to be strong for her babies and protects them which I’m sure she will! No man is worth protecting when it comes to YOUR KIDS. he should’ve been locked up immediately once that little girl spoke. Smh.
I'm so sorry to this woman.
Thank you, Steve for doing these shows. It gives me hope and strength in my life to see you give relief to people through the lie detector test. I wish and hope someday...
Her mother is my mother. Only my mom doesn't flat out lie about not knowing, she's got "amnesia".
It's sickening. Exhausting. Etc.
I'll never be able to wrap my head around someone harming a child - let alone THEIR OWN!
Same here she caught my brother on top of me put him out no shoes no clothes in the snow I was about 6 I remember everything and she doesn’t o please the mothers are pitiy
Pitiful
If I even suspect that anyone was touching my kid…… MY CHILD WAS NEVER GONNA SEE THAT PERSON AGAIN !!!!
This really makes me upset. The mother looks guilty from the start
Whenever there's a serious topic and somebody spews little things thar are so insignificant to the main issue it means they are trying to skate around the questions. That mother knew..if that's what you want to call her...AND I KNEW RIGHT WHEN SHE FIRST SPOKE
This girl broke me - she is in such need of care - pls keep us informed on how she is doing - having had the same kind of experience and at 63 I still suffer - my heart aches for this young lady
This episode really broke my heart!
Me too it happened to a lot of kids
Me 3 I got emotional when I heard the results that mother have the audacity to yell and scream knowing that she lied I pray for the young woman it truly is sad 😢
As a dad and now a granddad of girls I'm utterly disgusting by hearing that a father is that desperate and so hard up that he would touch and fondle his own daughter for his own self gratification. Hearing her story about what her dad was doing and trying to do to her just makes me sick to my stomach. My heart goes out to her for what she had to endure. 💔😢
After hearing the results of her mother I'm even more disappointed and disgusting!
Her mother definitely failed to protect her! Just plain sad!
Not just the father but the mother caused this poor woman's pain. I hope and pray she gets the help she needs. 🙏🏻❤️
when the mom said "i did not know. but i had AN IDEA" i was already pissed off......
I feel so sorry for that young lady who got taken advantage by her own father who is supposed to protect her , loving her as a father to his daughter and he did this to his own daughter . As for her mother she knew what tf happen and she allowed it to happen . But that young lady is a mother to her own child or children so i hope she learn from her trauma past that she will be a better mother to her children and their father won't take any advantage to their children like her father did to her when she was young . I hope she seek God & therapy .
It broke my heart
Taking a child victim,to face their abuser,is a horrible thing to do.
Dude as a survivor of CSA hell not only that but as a human being my heart hurt for her so much what her mother did was absolutely disgusting sending her back to that predator over and over and over. and knowing what he was doing that’s despicable. I hope that she’s able to heal and live a peaceful and better life, although it really upsets me, knowing that her childhood was stolen from her because of that monster did.
poor baby 10:57 the head shake about the past she’s like 5 again
SO THE MOTHER LIED ABOUT PROTECTING HER DAUGHTER.....................
Yep the mother did lied I couldn’t believe what I’ve heard
Yes she fed her innocent child to the predator....she actually knew he was a predator and while he was doing this shiii to her
I wish her the best of luck. It's heartbreaking to see how much hurt and pain is in her eyes.
my heart breaks for her cuz i do relate to her situation . family can be the reason of our sorrow and hurt i never cried in an episode this much in long time
Many hugs and prayers for this young lady. This made me so angry and to see her mother acting like she was a victim made it worse. That young lady has suffered a terrible life because you didn't do anything to protect her ... Your own flesh and blood! You don't deserve the title of mother! In my eyes you are just as guilty as the man who was supposed to be her father. Smh. Much love to you Deonna. I hope one day you fund peace.
She knew before her daughter told her…. Bro wtf 💔💔💔 people are sick asffff
This is super sad!!! I knew Natasha, the dad and I knew Deonna when she was a young child. This is so so so sad to me. I found out later about a lot of children in her age group who’s fathers were milestone them. A lot of the children in that area during that time were products of teenage pregnancy. It’s so sad.
Its a shame that the people who were supposed to be loving and protecting her were the ones causing her so much pain. I truly hope she able to speak with someone and find some sense of peace in life.
She still looks like she is in shock u can see it
This is heartbreaking. Obviously if you ask a predator if they did it, they’re gonna say no. If she was actually protecting her daughter she would’ve put her daughter back in the car and never let him near her again. Regardless of what he said. This is so sick I can’t believe she did that as a mother and just casually let it go.
I dont think an episode has ever made me cry like this one did
